Media Preview Day at the 2016 Canadian International AutoShow

I attended the Media Preview today for the 2016 Canadian International AutoShow, which takes place February 12th to the 21st at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. It was my first time ever attending the event and if there’s one word for it, it’s massive. I’d recommend checking it out and you can find more details at autoshow.ca.

Some of the highlights of this year’s CIAS include:

Art and the Automobile: presented by Cobble Beach Concours D’Elegance, it will display the advertising used to entice people to buy some iconic classic cars over the first 60 years of the automobile.

The Ontario government and the Automotive Parts Manufacturers Association gives us look at the Connected Car and our automotive future.

The Ford Performance Zone, a collection of Ford performance vehicles with a basketball themed celebration, a nod to the NBA All-Star Game at the Air Canada Centre on the opening weekend of the AutoShow.

Marking the 100th Indy 500, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and Museum is bringing a unique collection that showcases some of the iconic vehicles that have raced at the speedway over the past century while highlighting the many Canadians who have pursued glory at this fabled race.

Street Tuners, led by Eurocharged Canada, a spectacular display of luxury performance cars like the Audi R8, Mercedes AMG and Ferrari 458.
